• Darth Mojo has an incredibly cool and detailed post covering the new and classic style Cylon Centurions, as seen in Razor. Check out all the robot goodness. There's even a part 2 with even more stuff.
• The re-make/adaptation madness continues. This time, Jim Henson's Fraggle Rock is being made into a live action.....musical. The music in FR works well with singing puppets, but live action? I'm scared and I like the Rock.
• CBS has given the green light to three genre pilots for the fall season: The Ex List (something about Tarot cards and such, meh), Eleventh Hour (sounds X-Files-ish), and The Mentalist (which is a horrible name, but sounds like a modern day Sherlock Holmes. Why not go all they way and give us Hengis Hapthorn?).
• The comic book franchise, Witchblade, is being turned into a live-action feature film. At least it isn't a musical live-action, and hopefulyl sans Yancy Butler.
• The fans of Jericho are, well, nuts. They're at it again, only this time, the subject of their ire over the cancellation of Jericho isn't CBS (you know, the network that canned the show) but Nielsen. Apparently, somehow, Nielsen failed to record all the people who, in fact, did watch the show. I guess Jericho can't count Nielsen families among it's demographics. Sorry guys, Jericho was axed because very people, Nielsen or otherwise, watched it. Time to move on.
• And now for the visual portion of our Bits. First up, the teaser trailer for The X-Files: I Want to Believe:
  
  
• And next, Flash Gordon: Space Soldiers Conquer the Universe! Awesome. [via The Daily Galaxy]:
